'Scream' Series to Debut First Trailer During MTV Movie Awards

The first look at MTV’s Scream
series is finally here! The network announced that Bella Thorne (The DUFF) will be on hand to debut a new
trailer during the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, April 12.

The TV adaptation will tell the story of a town stricken
with violence following a cyber-bullying incident that results in a brutal
murder. Haunted by a past killing spree and the threat of a new killer, a group
of teens must navigate life as friends, lovers, enemies and, targets of each
other’s suspicions.

Thorne will star as one of town’s terrorized teens, possibly
as the victim of the show’s initial murder. “I will re-enact the famous scene
of Drew Barrymore in the original series,” the actress said during a January Facebook
Q&A.

When it was first reported
that MTV was developing a TV series based on the popular Scream franchise back in 2013, the news was met with a lot of
bewildered excitement. How could it possibly work? But in recent months, new
details have outlined a potentially delicious fall series that will rival Ryan
Murphy’s Scream Queens on FOX.
